陕西南郑县2017高考英语阅读理解一轮基础练习（三）【由内蒙古包头市201模拟改编】 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A,B,C和D)中，选出最佳选项。 Prejudice is a preconceived opinion that is not based on fact or reason. Examples of prejudice in schools include believing that some students are particular type of people simply because of the way they dress or act, or believing that a certain group is good at sports simply because many peop1e in that group are goad at sports. Another example is believing that a boy is good at science because many boys are good at science. I would like to cite more examples from the English literature. The best example of “prejudice” can be found in Jane Austens novels. Her novels in the history of English literature are popularly known as novels of manners.Thus you can clearly understand that where manners and social behavior are concerned，prejudice is inevitable ! Austen s famous novel Pride and Prejudice is the best example in this respect. When you read the novel, the very first line that would strike you is “it is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.”It is an example of 18th century English middle class prejudice that eventually looked upon women just as an object that would serve as the basic sign for a man to establish his manliness and his superior and well acquired financial status. This novel is chiefly about class division，social norms and the consequent human behavior. The characters Elizabeth and Darcy，in their journey of 1ife through the course of the novel, highlight their personal prejudices towards one another that arise from their different social strata(阶层).Darcy，a rich man , at first ,fails to admire the beauty and intelligence of Elizabeth because of her low social status:she is tolerable; but not handsome enough to tempt me;”and Elizabeth，proud of her first impressions，failed to understand the well natured man under the proud and unfriendly Darcy.1. What is prejudice defined in this passage? A. Prejudice is a reasonable idea that is based on ones own experience. B. Prejudice is a preference for one group of people or things over another. C. Prejudice is a preconceived opinion before becoming aware of fact or reason. D. Prejudice is an unreasonable dislike of a particular group of people or things.2. The underlined word inevitable in the second paragraph probably_means_ . A. unavoidable B. reasonable C. unbelievable D. valuable3.From the novel Pride and Prejudice，we cant learn that . A. where manners and social behavior are concerned prejudice is inevitable B. prejudice was defined and compared with“pride” in 18th century C. its about class division，social norms and the consequent human behavior D. personal prejudices towards one another arise from different social strata【参考答案】13、CAB 2016高考英语阅读理解集训。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。Several years ago I was diagnosed with cancer.

Farmers plant these barriers around their fields, which help prevent the loss of soil, stop the wind from blowing soil away. They also keep the wind from damaging or destroying crops. Besides, extra trees and plants can be cut down and used or sold for wood.Windbreaks can be highly valuable for protecting grain crops. For example, in parts of West Africa grain harvests were as much as twenty percent higher in fields protected by windbreaks compared to fields without them.But here is something interesting about windbreaks. They seem to work best when they allow some wind to pass through the barrier of trees or plants around a field. If not, then the movement of air close to the ground will lift the soil. Then the soil will be blown away. For this reason, a windbreak works best if it contains only 60 to 80 percent of the trees and plants that would be needed to make a solid line. An easy rule to remember is that windbreaks can protect areas up to 10 times the height of the tallest trees in the windbreak.There should be at least two lines in each windbreak. One line should be large trees. The second line, right next to it, can be shorter trees or other plants with leaves. Locally grown trees and plants are considered the best choices for windbreaks. Trees reduce the damaging effects of wind and rain. Their roots help protect soil from being washed away. And trees can provide animals outdoors with shade from the sun.9. The advantages of building a windbreak are as follows except _.A. keeping the wind from destroying grain cropsB. increasing the production of grain harvestsC. providing humans with shade from the sunD. reducing the damaging effects of wind and rain10. The author thinks windbreaks are interesting because _.A. the movement of air lifts the soilB. windbreaks allow some wind to pass throughC. large trees are lined with short onesD. windbreaks can stop the wind getting through11. If the trees grow to a height of 30 feet, the areas the windbreak can protect are _.A. 100 square feet B. 150 square feet C. 240 square feet D. 300 square feet12. What can be inferred from the text?A. Extra trees and plants can be cut down for wood.B. The environment is going from bad to worse.C. Trees and plants from abroad are the best for windbreaks.D. Windbreaks can contribute to agriculture harvests.【参考答案】912、CBDD 【云南省昆明市2014一模试卷】DOf the several films Hirokazu has made about childhood and children, this one is the most modest, but no less pleasing for its delicate style and small setting. I Wish was originally called Miracle, and the change is for the better. The two-word title makes you want to know whos wishing for what, while the single word sounds plain and self-praising. This wise and funny film works small miracles in describing such a moment when kids turn from the wishfulness of childhood into shaping the world for themselves.The sweetly reflective hero, a sixth-grader named Koichi, starts out by wishing for a volcano to erupt. Not just any volcano, but the one that towers above his town, smoking heavily and giving off ash. An eruption would lead to a withdrawing, which would lead, at least in his mind, to a reunion with his father and kid brother, whove been living in Hakata while Koichi lives with his mother and retired grandparents in Kagoshima. The volcano, knowing nothing of this, refuses to erupt, but Koichi hears of another approach to realizing the desired miracle.One of the pleasures of I Wish is watching how kids behave how Koichi attacks his dinner, for example. Another pleasure is rediscovering how kids think. These kids can be logical and ever so tricky. But childrens thought processes can also be fancy. A boy wishes he could play baseball like one of baseball stars, who eats curry for breakfast; so he, too, starts eating curry for breakfast, instead of practicing on the field. Another boy tries to wish his dead dog, Marble, back to life. And what does Koichi finally wish for? I wish youd see this delightful film to find out.13. Why has the name of the film been changed from Miracle to I Wish?A. The former is ambiguous and self-praising.B. The latter is easier to arouse audiences interest.C. The latter is easy for audience to remember.D. The former isnt related to the content of the film.14 Koichi wishes the volcano to erupt so that he can _ .A. enjoy the wonderful scene of a volcano B. help those who suffer from the eruptionC. get together with his family members D. work miracles during the disaster15. What does the writer intend to do in this text?A. To share pleasures of watching a film. B. To make a review on a film.C. To discuss kids behavior and thoughts. D. To recommend a film.【参考答案】1315、BCD 【浙江省金华十校2014高考英语模拟试题】A阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项标号涂黑。 Henry Ford grew up on an un-electrified farm, and as a young man he followed Edisons career as the inventor became a national role modelFord took a job at the Edison Illuminating Company working his way up to chief engineer In 1896 Ford was thirty-three and, though still working for Edison Co,he had created his first experimental automobile the Ford Quadricycle2 during his off-time At an Edison company party in New York, Ford had his first chance to meet his hero Edison and was able to explain his new automobile to the great inventor Edison was impressed Edison is said to have slammed his fist down and shouted Young man, thats the thing!
